Obituary Mr P. V. Marshall
PA Wellington A former permanent head of the Industries and Commerce Department, Mr Percival Bernard (Vai) Marshall, has died. He was 79. He was head of the department from 1950 to 1957 and general manager of the Dairy Products Marketing Commission and general manager (marketing) of the Dairy Production and Marketing Board from 1957 to 1964. Mr Marshall joined the Audit Department as a cadet in 1919 and worked in seven Government departments during the next 38 years before being appointed head
of Industries and Commerce. He left the Public Service in 1957 to become general manager of the Dairy Products Marketing Commission at a time of stress and change within the industry. The greatest organisational changes came in the next seven years for the commission. It had to change from being substantially the producer of one type of butter and one type of cheese (for the United Kingdom market) into the producer of many types of milk products for many markets. He is survived by a son and a daughter.
